Shortie but goodie :) Enjoy!! (again I know nothing about anything...)

"Thanks." Hunter said, hanging up the phone.

So Randy was playing detective. Hunter smiled to himself; too bad he was too late. He called John immediately.

"Yeah?" John answered quickly.

"Randy's started to snoop around." Hunter said calmly.

John was silent for a moment; Hunter guessed he was freaked out.

"What does he know?" John asked tension constricting his voice.

"He knows about me and Adam, but don't worry about that we'll deal with him. In the meantime, if you want to keep Ryon you need to keep her on lock down. The more evidence he collects the more he'll want to share it with her."

"Lock down got it." John said knowing how much he would enjoy that.

"I'm serious Cena you've got to be her shadow or your little fairy tale will be over with." Hunter admonished.

John clenched hi jaw. He couldn't lose Ryon now. They'd been through too much to be split up now.

"I'll keep her under control. You handle that snooping bastard and keep him away from us." John said hanging up the phone.

John pinched the bridge of his nose feeling a migraine forming already. He thought he was through with Randy after their last stand off, but here he was making trouble again.

"Are you okay?" Ryon asked coming into the living room.

"Yeah, just a headache." John muttered.

"I'm sorry. I'm going to go and look for a crib, did you want me to bring you something back?" she asked sweetly.

"No. You don't mind if I go with you do you? Maybe we can get some dinner after." He suggested.

"Sounds good, I'll wait for you." She smiled sitting on the couch.

John laughed to himself as he went to his room. Randy was never going to be able to get to Ryon.

Two Weeks Later

"Hello?" Randy answered his cell.

The lab was finally calling with the results.

"I have bad news and good news. The good news is that you're not taking this protein powder anymore. It's a miracle you were able to come off of it so easily. The bad news is that we found a high dosage of steroids which was probably the cause of your mood swings and violent outbursts. We also found a low dosage of cocaine which explains your fierce dependency." The lab tech said.

Randy sat down; he was feeling a little light headed upon hearing this news.

"It seems that the original components of the powder were compromised." The tech continued.

"What does that mean?" Randy croaked.

"It means that someone bought perfectly legal protein powder and then added the other two elements. The powder you were taking was definitely tampered with. I'll send you the official report for you own records." The tech concluded.

"Thank you." Randy said before ending the phone call.

He closed his eyes relieved now that he had an explanation for attacking his wife. He would be able to convince Ryon now that they had gotten played. Randy felt a chill creep up his spine. If they had gone to so much trouble to separate them, he didn't want to think of what they would do to keep them apart. All Randy was focused on now was getting Ryon away from John. He had enough evidence, now he had to figure out a way to get it to her without alerting John that he was doing so. He shuddered to think what might happen to her if John found out.

The next couple of months had been hell for Ryon. She felt like she was a child. John was constantly up under her and fussing over her so much she wanted to scream. She had brought up how she was feeling a couple of weeks ago and was reminded she was eight and a half months pregnant. That had been his excuse for being all over her. He would barely let her go to the bathroom by herself and she was about to suffocate. John had also been very busy himself keeping a very close eye not only on Ryon but on Randy as well through Adam and Hunter. They had made a habit of trailing Randy a few days every week to keep tabs on him. They had tipped John off several times when Randy was in town to avoid running into him with Ryon. As much as he knew it annoyed Ryon that he was so diligent in taking care of her, he had enjoyed having her all to himself. He'd made a ritual of taking her shopping and to dinner every Friday. It was the one day she enjoyed out of the entire week. The only time she felt a little freedom from John's watchful eye.

Randy was feeling a little fed up as well. Every time he thought he'd figured out John and Ryon's schedule the bastard switched it up. He was trying not to lose hope, but it really seemed like John had telepathy. How else would he always be two steps ahead of Randy? He also had not ruled out being wired with GPS, he wouldn't put it past the three of them at all. Finally Randy decided that he would lay low and let someone else do the leg work. He was going to let them think they had won and that he'd given up. Randy had hired a private investigator a month ago which proved to be successful. He had his only lead to date, and he was planning on using it to his advantage.

"I like that one." Ryon giggled as John held the maternity dress up in front of him.

"I don't think it's my color, do you?" he pondered.

"Not for you crazy, for me." She laughed.

He smiled. He loved it when she laughed.

"Yeah purple is definitely your color." He said.

They shopped around for a few more minutes before Ryon headed to the dressing room with an armful of garments.

"Try the purple one on first." John urged taking a seat just outside of the dressing rooms.

Ryon went to the stall in the back, the one that had the most room that she always used. She used her elbow to open the door and went to the bench to drop all of the clothes. She suddenly felt like she was not alone. That eerie feeling of being watched made a chill race up and down her spine and goose bumps raise all over her flesh. Before she could turn around a hand clamped over her mouth and she was pulled against the person behind her. She tried screaming through the hand but it only came out as a faint whimper.

"You okay Ry?" John called.

Ryon clawed at the arms that were holding her prisoner. She was pulled to the front of the room where the mirror was located. The person maneuvered her around to face her reflection and when she did she almost fainted when she saw whose arms she was in.
